SCIENCE FAIR for Windows, Version 4.0    
    
Purpose:  SCIENCE FAIR presents ten real-world applications of physics and math - great ideas for science fairs!  For kids aged 9 to 16.

Levers teaches you about the three different lever types and forces required to balance them.  Study basic oscillations with Pendulum -- see effects of changing lengths, weight, and friction.  Plots of motion are given.  Water Wheel demonstrates the exciting world of chaotic dynamics.  Examine wheel motion as different water flow rates are used.  Moon Lander gives practice in understanding concepts of speed and acceleration as you try to land on the moon.  Weather Watch  provides tools that allow you to identify and predict trends in the weather.

Circuits allows you to build electric circuits from batteries, switches, and light bulbs.  See effects of different circuit types, burned out bulbs, etc. Robotics allows you to study the world of robots using a 2-dimensional, two-link robotic arm.  Trajectories is a simulation of a flying object.  The program introduces estimation and answer refinement skills. Rocketry is a demonstration of model rocket launches - vary thrust, burn time, and rocket mass.  Probability introduces an exciting field of mathematics with problems in coin flipping, dice rolling, and dropping toothpicks!
